Someone remind me again why KD left the Warriors?

Pretty dumb decision imo. Dumber than Lebron going to Miami.

He's soft, mentally.
He didn't realize all the shite he'd get for joining the Warriors and it got to him.
He tried to create his own path where it was his team and he'd get all the credit...and failed.
That's why he picked the Suns and Heat as his top 2 options. 2 teams close to a title where he can pretend to be the alpha, but where really another player is the alpha. This was his problem even back in OKC.

He is an emotional lesbian and lets criticism get under his skin too easily.
He was getting shite from joining the Warriors to begin with then Draymond called him out and said “we don’t need you” when he was coming up on free agency.
He needs to find his path and ignore the criticism.

He didn’t get enjoyment from winning titles and had no friends on the team.

Everyone made it clear , including a GS owner that he wasn’t a true member of the team.

Watch the warriors trade for KD.
They low key have a great mix of young players/picks.

This is the Stephen A/Skip take.
Durant wasn’t satisfied his time with GSW. Sure he became the best basketball player on the planet during his time there. It wasn’t enough.
Durant is on the spectrum, it’s what makes him great.
He made an logical decision with OKC-ie Westbrook isn’t great and can’t be trusted.
He didn’t fail in Brooklyn. Brooklyn failed him.
But the talking heads, and guys like SFP-non basketball guys, spit bullshite.

He had a coach furd and an all star traded just to get his good buddy and washed DeAndre Jordan some minutes. He still blames the front office for the Kyrie situation.
KD was in charge there, this is on him.

Brooklyn’s leadership folded faster than the French.
Kobe requested a trade once and the Lakers told him no.
The FO has to hold the line, or they make mistakes that always costs teams.
Trading for Jim Harden tanked the franchise.
Durant’s been nothing short of awesome in his time in Brooklyn.
Blame Kyrie, blame Jim, blame Nash blame Marks, blame Ben…but Durant came back and balled out in Brooklyn.

He didn't like getting bossed around by Draymond Green. And then Draymond told him to leave.

The way that the Warriors locker room works is that Steph has enabled Draymond to be the vocal leader of the team.
The locker room was just a bad fit for KD.

You ignored the DJ/Allen thing too, can't let that slide.

You know, except for playing 90 games over 3 seasons.

And this is bullshite. KD didn't go to the nets and then was allowed to exert an outsized amount of control. He went to the nets BECAUSE he could exert and outsized amount of control. That was the point of him going there.

No. They would make the point of his leadership/mental issues and try to detract from his legacy. I am not.
KD is a top-10 player of all time. I have loved watching him play basketball since the first Texas game I saw him play in.

I think you are the last remaining KD-stan who is not his wife. Damn you are knighting him here.
quote:
-ie Westbrook isn’t great and can’t be trusted.
Westbrook was forced to try to bail KD's arse out of many playoff games when KD would shrink into the corner like a scared bitch. When Westbrook was featured, it was because KD was shying away from the moment. That's a KD problem.

Holy fricking shite.
How did Brooklyn fail KD? Hell, they even convinced Kyrie to opt-in to keep the hand-picked band together (the 3rd or 4th iteration of KD's preferred team/lineup), and then KD demands a trade.
Every major move KD requested/demanded (including the highly irrational choice of Deandre Jordan over Jarrett Allen. How did that work out?) was done by the Nets and every major move blew up in their face. Is your argument that Brooklyn failed KD b/c it acquiesced to his demands to avoid him demanding a trade?

TIL KD has a TD burner, too.

It's bullshite logic and is the same logic that these star players use whenever shite goes south after their decisions turn bad.
"You did everything I asked and never told me no, so this is your fault my decisions turned out to be shite"
This makes sense if you are like 8 years old.

It was a bad fit b/c KD wants to be a leader when it's easy and becomes a shrill bitch when it's difficult.
I have no doubt if he goes to Miami, Jimmy is going to have him requesting a trade within 2 years. MIA.
KD's only real hope is with CP3 and the Suns.

Green called Durant a “bitch” multiple times, sources said. In a summarized version, sources said Green shouted, “You’re a bitch and you know you’re a bitch.” The rhetoric, sources said, continued even when Kerr attempted to direct the team’s attention to his whiteboard.
Green blurted to Durant something along the lines of, “We don’t need you. We won without you. Leave,” sources said.
You really think an alpha male/team leader is gonna sit there & take some shite like that? I don't give a frick who is the vocal leader of the team, that's get punched in the mouth words & KD didn't do shite but take it. Review MJ & Robert Parish.
